Doug Johnson, LHSS Educational AdvisorI’m Doug Johnson, the Language Humanities and Social Science Engagement Center Educational Advisor. I am happy and excited to join the staff at Riverside City College and my team members in the LHSS Engagement Center to connect with, support, and serve our students. I attended RCC and transferred to UCLA, where I graduated with a bachelor’s in African-American Studies. While attending RCC, I was involved on campus as the President of the African American Student Alliance, the predecessor to UMOJA. I was in student government in the Supreme Court, which held campus and district elections. I was also a member of the Model United Nations at RCC. At UCLA, I was Chair of the Afrikan Student Union ASU. As a former RCC student who navigated my way through campus and the transfer process, I know the journey may not always be smooth. In my new position, I am eager to assist students on their educational path. |
Experience RCC professors through personal interviews that inspire students to look
backwards while thinking forward! Our goal is to showcase RCC professors and students
who offer intellectual insight into academic studies while inspiring you to become
more driven and inquisitive. Please enjoy this broadcast of Looking Backward Thinking Forward.
Season 1 of Looking Backward Thinking Forward is available now and new episodes will be available every semester. Please visit our YouTube channel and keep up to date with LHSS Engagement Center activities.
